See you at Surtex . . . booth 317 . . . :)

Leaving in the morning... little road trip to New York with my husband Mike and middle daughter Margo. I will be at Surtex (at Jarvits Center) - 19th-21st. Maybe I'll see you there:)

hanging out . . .

We've all been under the weather over here for most of the last and some of this week. It's no fun... but we got to hang out:). Anais did some watercoloring in my studio. I did some sketching (as a break from clicking). 

trees & creatures & leaves . . . oh my!

That's right... it's a forest with personality:). Everything is alive and in conversation.

psikhouvanjou prints . . .

Take a look at my 50x70 cm posters for Psikhouvanjou shop!

garden party . . .

A couple of watercolors I did last weekend... reflecting the feelings towards the warm weather and green gardens:).

green, warm and the botanical fantasy . . .

All the windows are open and the sweet warm summer smell is pouring into my studio. I cannot ask for more. It's finally green! Not quiet like the botanical fantasy I put into a pattern (above)... but almost.... almost summer...

getting ready . . .

Getting ready for Surtex. Less than three weeks away, but I can barely wait to see New York again. Hope to see you at the show:).

Hello Paperchase!

I've been working away this week... and almost didn't notice that my collection came out at Paperchase! I was very happy to hear this bit of news and am pleased with the good reviews Iv'e read. There are so many fun things... waterbottles, mugs, kids dishes, notebooks , keychains, badges, cards, albums, daily calendar, stickers, cross body bag, and even a lunch bag! Can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks to Jillian Phillips and Print & Pattern for cluing me in, and to Ecojot - for making those notebooks so very eco friendly:).

here comes the sun . . .

Is it you spring?... it's me... Helen... 

Wild Horses for Oopsy Daisy . . .

So neat to see these wild horses turn into product. Wall decals, lampshades and personalized growth charts... all running wild at Oopsy daisy.

a little reminder . . .

Just making sure you know:)!

time flies . . .

Another year flew by. Turning 36 today:). If I didn't turn into a serious person by now... I guess there isn't much hope, but I need at least 36 more year to be absolutely certain:)!

abstract fairy tale . . .

Once upon a pattern for you today:).

Stay Wild . . .

It's hard to be wild in the winter... but, maybe by the end of May some green grass will finally show itself and I can enjoy the outside again:).
